The PHS "Lie"

How the "Monkey" is Hijacking Your Health 

For years, the Human Design world has been teaching a "lie." It’s a "monkey" contradiction so deep it borders on evil, and it is time to expose it. You have been told your Determination is "Left-Fixed" or "Right-Fixed." You have been told you are "Calm" OR "Nervous," "Consecutive" OR "Alternating." This is the "howler monkey's" greatest trick.

 

You are not one or the other. One is your Truth, and the other is the "Lie"—the problem your monkey creates, not a valid "type." This "lie" is designed to keep you confused. It keeps your body stressed and ensures the monkey stays on its false throne.

The Truth: The Body is Your Priority

The "howler monkey" (your Not-Self Mind) wants you to obsess over your Personality and your "Motivation." But Ra Uru Hu's own advanced PHS Analyst books state the exact opposite: 

 

The Body is the priority, not the mind. You can never heal your mind or silence the monkey until your vehicle is correct. And your vehicle can never be correct if you are using the wrong (tropical) chart.

My Body Knew the Truth 11 Years Before I Did

This is my (Jillian's) story. For years, I followed the "lie" of the tropical chart. It told me I was Color 6: Indirect Light. I obediently ate at night, went to bed on a full stomach, and gained 40 lbs. My body was sick because I was feeding it a "lie".

My True Sidereal chart shows my Determination is Color 4: Calm. My body doesn't care about light; it cares about the atmosphere.

For years before I found Human Design, my body knew this.

  • When I got the phone call that my mother had cancer, I was in such shock and emotional pain I could not eat.

  • When she died, I couldn't eat for weeks. I was "nervous" and "upset."

  • I once sat down in a restaurant I liked, but when I saw the "angry waitress," my body became "agitated" and "physically rigid." I couldn't enjoy the food.

The "monkey's lie" told me to worry about the time of day. But my body was screaming the truth: it was not "Calm". It was in a "nervous" environment, and its "truth" was to shut down digestion to protect itself.

The "Monkey's" Two Great Traps

For every Determination, the "monkey" has two traps to keep you from your truth.

 

  1. Monkey Trap 1: The "Opposite" Lie                    This is the "lie" taught by most of the Human Design world (like the image you saw). The monkey tells you to do the exact opposite of your correct Determination. It tells a "Calm" person that "Nervous" is a valid "type," or a "Consecutive" person to be "Alternating."

 

  1. Monkey Trap 2: The "Distraction" (Transference) This is the real "monkey trap" from the advanced PHS books. The monkey makes you obsess over the wrong problem by "transferring" your focus to its harmonic Color (1 transfers to 4, 2 to 5, 3 to 6).

The 6 True Determinations (Monkey-Proofed)

Color 1: Appetite (Consecutive)

 

  • The Truth: Your body has a "primitive" digestive system and is "Internal". You must eat Consecutively.

  • The Simple Rule: Eat one food at a time. Finish your potatoes before you start your meat. Do not mix them in one bite.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The monkey tells you to be "Alternating," mixing all your foods together. This is the opposite of your design.

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "External" environment. It makes you worry that the room isn't "Calm" (Color 4) when the real problem is that you just mixed your food.

Color 2: Taste (Selective)

 

  • The Truth:  Your body is highly "selective" and "Internal". It knows what it wants. This is the "picky eater" Determination.

  • The Simple Rule:  You must be "Selective" (or "Closed") to what your body doesn't want. If you force yourself to eat something, your body will not digest it properly.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The monkey tells you to be "Open"—to eat what you're served to be polite or to "try everything." This is poison to your system.

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "External" environment. It makes you worry that the "Sound" is wrong (Color 5) when the real problem is that you are eating food you don't want.

Color 3: Thirst (Temperature)

 

  • The Truth:Your body is "Internal" and its digestion is governed by Temperature. Your body isn't designed to just "eat food"; it's designed to process food at a specific, fixed internal temperature.

  • The Simple Rule: Your True Sidereal chart shows you are either a "Hot" type (your body needs to raise its temperature to digest) or a "Cold" type (your body needs to lower its temperature to digest).

  • The Truth About "Regulation":  This is not a rigid "monkey" rule. It's about regulation. Your body is intelligent.  A "Hot" type might crave hot food (like soup) but also crave a cold drink at the same time. This isn't a contradiction; this is the body using both inputs to achieve its perfect internal temperature for digestion.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The monkey tells you to ignore your body's regulatory needs. It tricks a "Hot" type into eating a cold salad, or a "Cold" type into drinking hot soup, which throws the whole system into chaos.

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "External" environment. It makes you worry that the "Light" is wrong (Color 6), thinking you're just eating at the "wrong time of day," when the real problem is your body is fighting the temperature of your food.

 

Color 4: Touch (Calm)

 

  • The Truth: Your body is "External" and has a "sensitive" digestive system. Your only correct determination is "Calm".

  • The Simple Rule: You must eat in a "Calm" atmosphere. Your body must be relaxed to digest. As my story proved, a "nervous" environment will shut your digestion down.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The "lie" is the idea that "Nervous" is a valid "type." It is not. "Nervous" is the problem and the signal that you are in the wrong place.

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "Internal" food. It makes you worry that you need to be "Consecutive" (Color 1) when the real problem is the vibe in the room.

Color 5: Sound (Acoustic)

 

  • The Truth: Your body is "External" and digests based on the acoustic environment. Your True Sidereal chart shows you are either a "High" type (needing sound) or a "Low" type (needing silence).

  • The Simple Rule: You are one or the other, and it is a fixed need.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The monkey tells you to eat in the wrong sound environment (e.g., a "Low" type in a loud café).

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "Internal" food. It makes you worry that you're just being "Picky" (Color 2) when the real problem is the noise level.

 

Color 6: Light (Illumination)

 

  • The Truth: Your body is "External" and digests based on the light in the environment. Your True Sidereal chart shows you are either a "Direct" type (must eat in the day) or an "Indirect" type (must eat at night).

  • The Simple Rule: You are one or the other. This is about natural light cycles. "Direct" is in the sun; "Indirect" is after the sun has set.

  • The "Lie" (False Opposite): The monkey tells you to eat at the wrong time of day. This is the trap I fell into that caused my weight gain—a "Calm" type (Color 4) being told to eat like an "Indirect" type (Color 6).

  • The "Distraction" (Transference): The monkey "tricks" you into obsessing over the "Internal" food. It makes you worry that the "Temperature" is wrong (Color 3) when the real problem is the time of day.

This is the True Fire of Your Liberation

This is the truth that honors the value and beauty of your unique body. The "howler monkey" wants you confused by "lies" and "distractions."

Stop feeding the monkey. Use your True Sidereal chart.
